PERT (Program Evaluation Review Technique)

PERT, or Program Evaluation Review Technique, is a project management tool used to plan and coordinate large projects. It helps teams visualize tasks, understand dependencies, and estimate the time needed to complete a project. By mapping out individual tasks and their relationships, PERT makes it easier to identify the shortest path to completion and manage potential delays. It also incorporates uncertainty by allowing for optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely time estimates for each task, enabling better decision-making and risk management throughout the project lifecycle.
